The MapleStory executable file’s icon design has been changed. It does change slightly based on the size of your icon too. They actually put up a notice about this change before the patch hit haha, it said that this is the first step to showing off a new, more fun MapleStory.

 I’m going to miss the old icon 😦

When you participate in Urus using Quick Matching and have 10 or more people, based on the ratio of party members that received an E rank, those who did not receive E ranks will have their scores increased. The rankings will reflect the total scores before this increase.

When fighting Hekaton, characters who do not move for a certain period of time or do not deal any damage will not receive rewards.

Hekaton’s HP will no longer increase when characters enter past the 10 minute mark.

The Spark Damage Skin icon’s sample image has been changed to the correct one.

When your character stands still, if a pet is covering you, it will automatically move after 3 seconds.

Pet commands will now be shown in the pet’s tooltip. Wisp and Chloe will no longer have an option to show you pet commands. The pet food seller NPCs Cute, Laya, Moody, Patricia, and Wilson will no longer sell Pet Guides.

Silver Karma Scissors can now be used on items which previously required only the regular Karma Scissors.

I don’t think GMS has Silver Karma Scissors but they were added with Additional Options and they cost 20m mesos so you no longer need to spend NX to trade any equipment that require Karma Scissors (Hopefully they do something about Platinum Scissors too haha).

If you try to enter Chaos Root Abyss without having cleared Normal Root Abyss 10 times, you will now be shown your number of Normal Root Abyss clears.

Arcane Symbols that have been locked using Item Locks can no longer be levelled up or used as reinforcement material for other Arcane Symbols.

The difference between the average transaction price and instant transaction price shown in the Meso Market has been reduced.

The following errors have been fixed.

• Fixed an error where sometimes a character could not perform any actions after using a Mannequin.
• Fixed an error where reviving in town after death would sometimes consume 2 Safety Charms.
• Fixed an error where the remaining time displayed in boss content UI would be different from the actual remaining time.
• Fixed an error where certain Road of Vanishing quests’ NPC images would not appear in the Completed Quests tab.
• Fixed an error where Zeros comparing weapons with other Zero characters would not display the correct increase in range.
• Fixed an error where Burning Fields did not apply to Forgotten Road of Time 1.
• Fixed an error where debuff effects did not apply to the boss Lucid in her rage phase.
• Fixed an error where the Boss Matching buff for Caoong and Papulatus did not persist after death.
• Fixed an error where pets did not pick up certain items in World Merged Party Quests.
• Fixed an error where certain Cash equipment and effects would not appear on the Character Select screen.
• Fixed an error where the ‘Please try again after a few minutes’ message would appear sometimes when you were no longer able to increase or decrease fame for the day.
• Fixed an error where Magic Gauntlets were in the Dragon Rider’s Thief Box.

Skill Related

You must now have a weapon equipped to use skills that deal damage to enemies.

An error where Night Walker’s Element: Darkness‘ defense ignore effect would overwrite other skills has been fixed. However, Element: Darkness’ defense ignore effect now only applies to Night Walkers.

The following errors have been fixed.

• Fixed an error where certain attacking skills could be used in Meisterville.
• Fixed an error where Mercedes’ Union effect applied to Guided Arrow.
• Fixed an error where Striker could not link God of the Sea to Thunder.
• Fixed an error where Aran’s weapon would disappear if they used Install Maha while wearing certain weapons.
• Fixed an error where Evan’s Magic Amplification increased final damage by less than its description.
• Fixed an error where Mercedes’ Ishtar’s Ring did not increase Ignis Roar’s duration correctly if used while riding Sylphidia.
• Fixed an error where Mercedes’ Rolling Moonsault could not be linked with Charge Drive.
• Fixed an error where Blaster repeatedly cancelling skills with Charge skills would cause the client to exit.
• Fixed an error where Cadena would move to an abnormal location after using Summon Slashing Knife in a Hidden Portal.
• Fixed an error where Cadena’s Chain Arts: Takedown would not deal damage to enemies above a certain height from the ground.
• Fixed an error where Beta’s appearance would disappear when tagging after Alpha used Shadow Rain.
• Fixed an error where certain effects of Illium’s Craft: Longinus would not be affected by transparency options.

The second movie of the Maple Film Festival is A Monster Taxi Driver (based off of the movie ‘A Taxi Driver‘), and will run from September 28 to October 25.

Monster Taxi Driver is a game where 1~6 players become taxi drivers and must drive monster quests to their destinations. You can participate in Monster Taxi Driver up to 10 times per day per world.

Each monster will have different destinations based on the area they reside in, and will pay a fare when they are dropped off at the correct places.

In the final 30 seconds, it will be bonus time, where monsters will pay higher fares than usual!

After the time limit is up, you can use up your total paid fare to trade to Spiegelmann for mesos and Popcorn Coins. Mesos can be traded 1:1 with the fare you’ve collected (limit of 10 million mesos per world per day), but you’ll need 500k to get 1 Popcorn Coin (limit of 20 per world per day). On weekends, the meso exchange rate and the limit will be doubled!

You can spend your fare to upgrade your taxi as well. You can upgrade the speed to 150/160/170/180 for the regular taxi, at a cost of 1 million mesos per upgrade, or 200/210/220/230/240/250 for the model taxi, at a cost of 2 million mesos per upgrade. You can upgrade the number of seats to 3/4 for the regular taxi at a cost of 3 million mesos per upgrade, or 4/5 for the model taxi at a cost of 10 million mesos per upgrade.

Detective Kemdi

The third movie of the Maple Film Festival is Detective Kemdi (based off of Detective Conan I think…), and will run from September 28 to October 25.

Every day from 10:15 AM to 11:45 PM, you will receive an invitation every XX:15 and XX:45 to join and play with up to 100 other users. You can participate up to 3 times per day.

This is a game where you must guess the correct 3 or 4 digit password on a safe! You can input 1 guess every 10 seconds (maximum of 30 tries). Each time you enter a guess, Kemdi will tell you how many numbers you got right and how many numbers were in the right position.

Based on the rankings of who found the password first, you’ll receive Popcorn Coins.

The fourth movie of the Maple Film Festival is Dunki-Link (based off of Dunkirk), and will run from September 28 to October 11.

Characters level 100 or higher can talk to Cassandra to enter the Dunki-Link waiting map. You can then talk to her to enter a hunting ground where up to 10 people can be placed in the same map at the same time.

In Dunki-Link, you can only see and kill your own monsters. Monsters here also give 120% additional bonus experience. You can pay 10 Popcorn Coins to spawn 500 monsters. The daily limit of how many times you can spawn monsters is based on your level.

• Level 100~119: 500 monsters
• Level 120~139: 1,000 monsters
• Level 140~159: 1,500 monsters
• Level 160~179: 2,000 monsters
• Level 180~199: 2,500 monsters
• Level 200+: 3,000 monsters

The number of monsters remaining will be maintained even if you leave the map or disconnect from the game. You can also change the summoned monsters to others that are within 20 levels of your character level. However, Arcane River area monsters cannot be summoned unless you have access to the area.

It’s sort of weird to see a bombed beach map with Cassandra in a fighter plane beside a bunch of ammunition haha.

Maple Bad

The fourth movie of the Maple Film Festival is Maple Bad (based off of Despicable Me, which is actually called Super Bad in Korea!), and will run from September 28 to October 11.

The fifth movie of the Maple Film Festival is Dal Gom, Panda Gom, Taeryun Gom (‘gom’ means bear in Korean, and it’s based off of The Good, The Bad, the Weird) will run from October 12 to October 25.

Maple Film Festival Passport

The final part of the Maple Film Festival is the Maple Film Festival Passport event which runs from September 28 to October 25.

As you participate in the various events of the Maple Film Festival, you can collect stamps as you complete certain conditions. Based on the type and number of stamps you collect in your passport, the stats of the MFF True Artist title will change. The title’s stats will expire on November 1.

There are 5 different types of stamps which give different stats. You can obtain 1 stamp of each type per day.

• A Monster Taxi Driver (+3 all stats, +150 HP/MP per stamp): collect a total of 10 million mesos fare in a day
• Detective Kemdi (+1 attack/magic attack per stamp): participate 3 times in a day
• Dunki-Link (+3% damage to regular monsters per stamp): hunt 500 monsters in a day
• Maple Bad (+3% boss damage per stamp): hunt 100 Maple Bad monsters in a day
• Bear Bear Bear (+3% defense ignore per stamp): collect a total of 10,000 Film Points in a day

If you can collect every single stamp, you’ll receive the MFF Mania title! It gives the same stats as the fully upgraded MFF True Artist Title (60 all stats, 3000 HP/MP, 20 attack/magic attack, 30% regular monster damage, 30% boss damage, 30% defense ignore) and its stats will expire on November 22.
